How did Hau pass the island challenge if he never beat his grandfather, the Kahuna of Melemele, until after the credits?
Is this some kind of OS anime Ash thing where Hala recognized his strength without being defeated by him or something?
I assume Hala doesn't go full throttle on new challengers and Hau knows that. Pretty sure he meant Elite Four team Hala.

Good point.

You don't need to assume that at all. Hala has two different teams.

Gladion called out Hau for being spoiled by Hala. There's a guy in Hala's house who also says something similar. So I'm guessing Hala went extra-soft on him.
The Kahunas don't go all out against the Trial Challengers. It's supposed to be a coming of age rite not a massacre.
